- Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of novel Bcr-AblT315I inhibitors incorporating amino acids as flexible linker
-
Despite the success of imatinib in CML therapy through Bcr-Abl inhibition, acquired drug resistance occurs over time in patients. In particular, the resistance caused by T315I mutation remains a challenge in clinic. Herein, we embarked on a structural optimization campaign aiming at discovery of novel Bcr-Abl inhibitors toward T315I mutant based on previously reported dibenzoylpiperazin derivatives. We proposed that incorporation of flexible linker could achieve potent inhibition of Bcr-AblT315I by avoiding steric clash with bulky sidechain of Ile315. A library of 28 compounds with amino acids as linker has been developed and evaluated. Among them, compound AA2 displayed the most potent activity against Bcr-AblWT and Bcr-AblT315I, as well as toward Bcr-Abl driven K562 and K562R cells. Further investigations indicated that AA2 could induce apoptosis of K562 cells and down regulate phosphorylation of Bcr-Abl. In summary, the compounds with amino acid as novel flexible linker exhibited certain antitumor activities, providing valuable hints for the discovery of novel Bcr-Abl inhibitors to overcome T315I mutant resistance, and AA2 could be considered as a candidate for further optimization.

- Epoxy amino acids produced from allylglycines intramolecularly cyclised to yield four stereoisomers of 4-hydroxyproline derivatives
-
Derivatives of 2-amino-4-pentenoic acid (allylglycine) were efficiently resolved using Subtilisin or acylase. The side-chain unsaturated bond of the enantiomerically pure amino acid with tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc) protection was smoothly epoxidized with m-chloroperbenzoic acid. When the Boc protection of the amino group was removed, the amino group intramolecularly attacked the side-chain epoxide, generating compounds with five-membered rings: the 4-hydroxyproline derivatives. Two diastereomeric products were formed through the cyclisation reaction, for example, (2S,4S)-4-hydroxyproline benzyl ester (cis-8) and (2S,4R)-4-hydroxyproline benzyl ester (trans-8) were formed from (2S)-amino acid with a side-chain epoxide. Compound (2S,4S)-4-hydroxyproline benzyl ester (cis-8) was transformed to a lactone (cis-hydroxyproline lactone, 10) with the removal of benzyl alcohol. The cis-conformation was essential for the intramolecular ester exchange reaction; in fact, no lactone formation was observed for the trans isomer (trans-8). The separation of cis-hydroxyproline lactone and the trans-isomeric hydroxyproline benzyl ester was facile and clear, in contrast to the difficult separation of cis- and trans-hydroxyproline derivatives. Thus, two diastereomers of hydroxyproline derivatives for l-hydroxyproline and also for d-hydroxyproline were obtained, i.e., four diastereomers of hydroxyproline derivatives.

- Design, synthesis, and antileukemic activity of stereochemically defined constrained analogues of FTY720 (Gilenya)
-
FTY720 functions as an immunosuppressant due to its effect on sphingosine-1-phosphate receptors. At doses well above those needed for immunosuppression, FTY720 also has antineoplastic actions. Our published work suggests that at least some of FTY720's anticancer activity is independent of its effects on S1P receptors and due instead to its ability to induce nutrient transporter down-regulation. Compounds that trigger nutrient transporter loss but lack FTY720's S1P receptor-related, dose-limiting toxicity have the potential to be effective and selective antitumor agents. In this study, a series of enantiomerically pure and stereochemically diverse O-substituted benzyl ethers of pyrrolidines was generated and tested for the ability to kill human leukemia cells. The stereochemistry of the hydroxymethyl was found to be a key determinant of compound activity. Moreover, phosphorylation of this group was not required for antileukemic activity.

- Novel substituted pyrrolidines are high affinity histamine H3 receptor antagonists
-
Pre-clinical characterization of novel substituted pyrrolidines that are high affinity histamine H3 receptor antagonists is described. These compounds efficiently penetrate the CNS and occupy the histamine H3 receptor in rat brain following oral administration. One compound, (2S,4R)-1-[2-(4-cyclobutyl-[1,4]diazepane-1-carbonyl)-4-(3-fluoro-phenoxy)-pyrrolidin-1-yl]-ethanone, was extensively profiled and shows promise as a potential clinical candidate.

- Locked conformations for proline pyrrolidine ring: Synthesis and conformational analysis of cis- and trans-4-tert-butylprolines
-
The motional restrictions of the proline pyrrolidine ring allow this secondary amine amino acid to act as a turn inducer in many peptides and proteins. The pyrrolidine ring is known to exhibit two predominant pucker modes (i.e., C-4 (Cγ) exo and endo envelope conformers whose ratio can be controlled by proper substituents in the ring). In nature, the exo puckered 4(R)-hydroxy-L-proline plays a crucial role as a building block in collagen and collagen-like structures. It has been previously concluded that the electronegativity of the 4-cis-substituent increases the endo puckering while the electronegativity of the 4-trans-substituent favors the exo puckering. Here, we have introduced a sterically demanding tert-butyl group at C-4 in trans- and cis-configurations. In the case of trans-substitution, the induced puckering effect on the pyrrolidine ring was studied with X-ray crystallography and 1H NMR spectral simulations. Both cis- and trans-4-tert-butyl groups strongly favor pseudoequatorial orientation, thereby causing opposite puckering effects for the pyrrolidine ring, cis-exo and trans-endo for L-prolines, in contrast to the effects observed in the case of electronegative C-4 substituents. The syntheses and structural analysis are presented for the conformationally constrained 4-tert-butylprolines. The prolines were synthesized from 4-hydroxy-L-proline, substitution with t-BuCuSPhLi being the key transformation. This reaction gave N-Boc-trans-4-tert-butyl-L-proline tert-butyl ester in 94% ee and 57% de. Enantioselectivity was increased to 99.2% ee by crystallization of N-Boc-trans-4-tert-butyl-L-proline in the final step of the synthesis.
